Chapter 1,381 The whole country prepares for war
After the border force officer finished speaking, he passed out.
Soon, the news spread to the court.
Not surprisingly, this news caused an uproar in the court!
Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom are both neighboring countries of Yaohai Kingdom. They don't have much friendship with Yaohai Kingdom at ordinary times, and they stare at each other eagerly at the border for more than a day or two.
However, these two countries would actually unite and attack the Yaohai Kingdom without any warning!
Moreover, according to the news brought by the border force officer, the armies of the two countries have reached Shanyin Pass, and Shanyin Pass is the last checkpoint on the Yaohai Kingdom's border. If this checkpoint is broken, the Yaohai Kingdom's At least one-fifth of the country will be directly occupied by the iron hooves of the two countries' coalition forces!
Soon, the order from the monarch of Yaohai Kingdom was issued!
The canonization ceremony of the eldest prince is temporarily postponed!
The entire Yaohai Kingdom has entered a state of war preparation, and all military forces in the country will assemble at Shanyin Pass within three days!
The total number of troops in Yaohai sounds like a lot, but in fact, apart from the garrison troops at the major borders and the immobilized city guards in Yaohai City, there are not many remaining troops.
At least, when facing the two armies of Qianren Kingdom and Dongyue Kingdom, that amount of troops is definitely not enough.
"A neighboring country is invading?"
In the mansion, Su Chen also heard the news, and his expression suddenly changed slightly, "I see! Why didn't I think about this before?"
"Brother Xian, what do you mean..."
The eldest prince was at a loss. From what Su Chen meant, could this be expected?
"No wonder the fourth prince has been very quiet recently. It turns out the reason is here."
Su Chen said.
"You don't mean..."
The eldest prince's expression suddenly changed, showing an unbelievable look, couldn't he?
"If someone didn't do it deliberately, how could the armies of the two countries easily capture three cities and approach Shanyin Pass?"
Su Chen's words caused the eldest prince's expression to change again, and then he slowly frowned.
"The border area around Shanyin Pass is guarded by the Zhou family, the natal family of the fourth prince's mother and concubine. All the border guards in that area are under the jurisdiction of the Zhou family. If there is really a traitor, then the Zhou family will be the last to possible."
The eldest prince slowly expressed his guess.
"Yes, then who are the Zhou family working for?"
Su Chen said calmly.
The eldest prince was silent for a moment, it was obvious...
I had just been canonized as Crown Prince a few days ago, and today was the canonization ceremony, so this news came.
It is very possible that the fourth prince knew that he had no hope of becoming the heir apparent and was so anxious that he did this...
The eldest prince's face gradually darkened, and he said: "Although it is hard to believe, if the fourth prince really collaborates with the enemy and treason, I will be the first to kill him!"
"If the Zhou family really collaborates with the enemy, then even if all the troops in the country are mobilized to support Shanyin Pass, it will not be of much use."
Su Chen reminded the eldest prince.
"I will go to Uncle Wang of Zhennan immediately and ask him to come out to fight against the enemy!"
The eldest prince quickly said that as the crown prince, it was time for him to handle national affairs and share the worries of the monarch.
Although King Zhennan has long since retired, in this moment of national crisis, the eldest prince can still only think of King Zhennan, the former God of War of Yaohai Kingdom!
However, just as the eldest prince was about to leave, he suddenly stopped again, with a hesitant look on his face: "But Uncle Zhennan's body... If he is allowed to go out to fight against the enemy now..."
"Do you know about King Zhennan's body?"
Su Chen asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"I know a little, but not a lot. Uncle Wang of Zhennan doesn't really want others to know about it."
The eldest prince said in surprise, "Brother Xian, do you also know the body of Uncle Zhennan Wang..."
Su Chen nodded. To be honest, with King Zhennan's current situation, it was really not suitable for him to go into battle to kill the enemy.
The eldest prince was in trouble: "What should I do?"
Although Yaohai Kingdom has many brave and skilled generals, when it comes to the backbone who can carry the beam, everyone can only think of King Zhennan!
Only when King Zhennan comes out can he unite the spirit of all the soldiers of Yaohai Kingdom!
At this time, Xue Yong hurriedly came to report: "Master Chen, King Zhennan sent someone to bring news that the main materials you requested for refining the God-Reviving Pill have been found."
"Is it?"
Su Chen felt relieved and immediately stood up, "I'll go take a look."
"Brother, I'll go with you!"
The eldest prince said quickly.
Soon after, Su Chen and the eldest prince arrived at the residence of King Zhennan.
"Your Majesty seems to be in good spirits."
